Rock Bottom is a tabloid news show produced in Springfield. Godfrey Jones is the host.

Typical for tabloid TV shows, Rock Bottom spins its stories for maximum shock value. Whether the stories present the truth is generally deemed irrelevent by the show's producers. However, the show has a history of being caught out and thus forced to air retractions.

Homer was accused of sexually harassing babysitter Ashley Grant by grabbing her buttocks, when in reality he was only grabbing a Gummi Venus de Milo that had gotten stuck to the back of her pants. When a protestors' shantytown and a media circus formed at the Simpson house, Godfrey Jones called Homer and offered him a chance to explain his side of the story. In spite of the show's sensationalistic bent, Homer readily accepted the offer due to the show's having previously aired a story about Sasquatch which he considered to be "fair and even-handed".
